It made lots of difference speed wise? Could be important since I am working with audio software.
Remind me - is that the raid configuration where it effectively makes for one very fast "virtual drive" or the one where the second acts as a "mirror" for redundancy ? - The other issue is my primary drive is 250 gig whuile the second one is 500 gig. How would this affect things? Would it still be worth striping for speed ? Can I assign 250 gig of the second one for striping and just use the remaining 250 gig on the second one as a separate volume?
